Hello my cosmic cuties!
Many of us are in the most dynamic and destabilizing time in our lives, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing! Many of us want to change our lives, want to become better, happier, healthier, all of the things. It isn't easy, but it is doable. In this episode I discuss (at least) 10 actionable steps to changing your life in 3 months. This is something I have done several times in my life; after my divorce, upon moving, becoming an astrologer, and now as a nursing student.
I hope that you find this useful, and that you don't limit the things you can achieve if you follow through.

Hello my cosmic cuties! This episode is a tough one for me because I am actively going through the grieving process of a relationship that was near and dear to my heart. In true eclipse season fashion, we see course-correcting, but extremely dis-regulating, events taking place in our lives. In this episode we talking about processing grief, questions we can ask ourselves and journal to explore our own personal growth and shadow side, and soothing techniques for negative emotions and self care.
I mention a number of things I use, below you will find:
Vibrational healing
Somatic therapy movement: @theworkoutwitch_
L-theanine and Magnesium Glycinate
Sleep hypnosis
I hope these resources help you. I truly hope that we learn to lean on each other and our collective during these processes.

Hello my cosmic cuties! In light of this Virgo New Moon and Virgo season in general, I want to bring you all this episode on how to be more consistent in life, and especially with your goals. I think many of us are easily inspired and motivated to set goals and manifest, but not many of us are equipped with the tools that we need in order to stay consistent. It is not just about will and discipline, consistency requires the right environment, so I provide tips and tricks for making sure when you set your goals you can be consistent enough to achieve them.

Hello my cosmic cuties! Welcome back to another episode. In this episode we discuss 3 major ways (and their subset of ways) to cultivate a unique and customized self care routine. One of the things I find most of my clients are most confused about is how to be more intentional with a self care routine. Most importantly, how do we move passed a self care routine that isn't just about the aesthetics, or isn't superficial like a nap or a spa day? It's an excellent question and it's one of the things we answer in this episode!
We also discuss what questions and concepts to focus on when making a self care routine and how to grade yourself day to day to determine if the self care routines in place are necessary and/or effective. All good things!
Thanks again for hanging with ya girl! Please RATE and SHARE the podcast and/or episode.

Hello cosmic cuties! In this episode we get into some steps and strategies for navigating imposture syndrome. I go through 7 steps:
-
Recognition
-
Reframing thoughts
-
Seek support
-
Focus on growth
-
Celebrate success
-
Self care
-
Asking for help
I go into detail for each step and even some strategies I use for myself and clients to shift some of the thinking that it requires to navigate imposture syndrome. Remember, imposture syndrome is a normal human response when you're dealing with self-doubt. But you got this, you can do this, you're here for a reason.

Hi my cosmic cuties! In this episode we discuss the internal ways that we limit ourselves and the dialogues we have that stop us from taking action on our goals. I focus on limiting beliefs, distraction, lack of motivation or inspiration, and so much more!

Hey my cosmic cuties! In honor of Aries season, which is all about taking action, let's talk about some reasons we don't take action on the things we SAY we want. Due to the fact that there are many reasons, I decided to just make this a part 1. There will be more parts with more reasons and more strategies for what to do about it.
Simply put, we are way too open to way too many opinions, so how do we navigate the talk from others that we adopt into self-talk? Listen to the episode and find out!

Hello my cosmic cuties! I take the time in this episode to formally reintroduce the podcast, the new name, artwork, and get right into manifestation. I know that many of us that are black and brown don't always identify with mainstream ways of manifesting. One of those reasons being because life is not rainbows and butterflies for us.
In this episode I discuss the ways to mitigate some of that negative emotion, a couple of activities you can do to work through affirmations you don't yet believe about yourself, and the way we should be using spirituality to navigate these times in our lives. I hope you find it useful!

What is emotional immaturity? It's not what you think, trust me. And also believe that not being emotional available or being able to handle negative emotion in a healthy way means you need help in this area! There's nothing wrong with that, but in this episode we navigate what that means and looks like, some things I do to facilitate my personal growth in this area, and any additional tips I can possibly give you all.
I do chat quite a bit about Aquarius and Capricorn in this episode because they are the emotional bypassing GENIUSES LOL. But this applies to us all in one way or another!

Hello my cosmic cuties and welcome back to another episode. This episode was inspired by my clients and then my audience on instagram. Feelings of not belonging, of not finding or feeling in safe space is extremely prevalent. In fact, even half my audience feels like they are missing community. This episode provides some insight on how to build community, what may be stopping you from finding it or feelings of belonging in general, and also I HAD to talk about the Full Moon in LEO coming up this Sunday, February 5th.
I want to mention, I do speak on anxiety in this episode. If you are struggling with clinical anxiety, please see a mental health or medical provider for assistance.

Hi my cosmic cuties!
This episode is a real one. Today we will talk about what to do when you are not motivated or feel optimistic your progress, your future, or just life in general. I have literally JUST worked through this mindset shift because BABY.... life is life-ing! I'm going to go ahead and say that EVERY time we feel unmotivated, it is generated by our thoughts. We go through what those thoughts might be, I give you an example of what I had to work through recently, and then we go through steps to get you out of that rut!

Hi my cosmic cuties!
I am bringing you another episode in honor of Sagittarius season coming very soon. Sagittarius is the wanderer, the explorer, the finder of truth. During Scorpio season, we really went into digging up our true. authentic selves and honoring that. In Sag season, we have to figure out how it fits within the larger context of the world and experience.
Some of us question what our purpose is, or we don't know how to find our purpose, so I walk through 5 things you can do to explore your purpose. As you know, I'm an astrologer and if you want to get a reading on this, DM me! We can set up a chat and walk through your possibilities.

Hi my cosmic cuties!
It's Scorpio season and what's Scorpio season without a good chat about obsession, obsessing over the past, and why we obsess when we crave stability, safety, certainty and control.
There are several reasons why we will obsess, but today we focus on a lack of acceptance, trying to rationalize emotion, and feeling uncertain or doubt and using the past to navigate those emotions. We go into actionable steps you can take to help your brain get out of the rumination of obsession.
DISCLAIMER: Please understand that depression and anxiety can cause obsessive thinking. If this is the case, please seek a mental health professional. This is advice for those that want supplemental help with mindset work.

Hey my cosmic cuties!
This episode is all about starting a journey into doing "shadow work". This terminology is very popular in the mental health and/or spiritual community but what is it exactly? And more importantly, where do you even begin. In this episode we go through the definitions needed to really understand this part of your healing journey and how to work through shame, disappointment, pain or any of the less desirable senses of self. I get it, I've been there, it is a constant process, and so I wanted to make sure to give you a step-by-step process on this. Take a listen, feel free to subscribe, share, and leave a review!

Hi everyone, welcome to the new and improved podcast! Please share, subscribe, and leave a review!
Today's episode is about starting over; the "how", the "why", and the "what" of it all.
As a single mother, astrologer, life coach, mental health advocate, and a woman in her 30's, my expertise on starting over is at full proficiency. I have been through divorce, resetting goals, re-prioritizing my health and wellness, changing careers, changing residence, literally all of the above. This episode is full with actionable steps, tips, and mindset tricks for starting over. You can see a reset as a gift, an opportunity, and a blessing if you use the new phase in your life as a means of true self expression and self development. There is no doubt starting over is hard, so I also go into navigating emotions.
